Last year, as he struggled to find work and take care of his family, local indie singer-songwriter Dragaan started making music in his bedroom.

The prolific artist released nine singles last year, including his most popular song to date, “Sugar Bug.”

Just this week, he’s released his latest single, the woozy pop number “Bitter Sweet.”

“Most of Dragaan’s songs reveal his relationships with people in his life,” states a press release about the tune. “This new single arises from his encounters with stalker exes and random women on the internet. He takes this concept and turns the record into a pop song that really sticks.”

In the upcoming weeks, Dragaan will release a music video for “Bitter Sweet” on his YouTube channel.
